Work in Tech: How to Get a Data Center Job at Facebook

If you’re a mechanical or electrical engineer, know how servers work, or simply someone who enjoys building computers at home and lives near one of the sites where Facebook is building data centers, chances are the company wants to hear from you.

The social network is continuing to grow quickly, and every new Facebook data center means lots of Facebook data center jobs. Typically, a few months before a data center comes online, “we put out a huge number of job requisitions, and we start looking to build the team,” Delfina Eberly, VP of infrastructure for site operations at Facebook, says. The roles that need to be filled can be anything from server technicians and infrastructure engineers to program managers.

They also range from entry-level to highly skilled. Facebook often hires people out of local junior colleges or trade schools, people who like working with their hands and don’t necessarily have data center experience. “We want somebody who loves technology,” she says.
